Gas!

[salmon77 25]

I am 5 weeks post op gastric sleeve and have so much gas. I am not drinking through straws or having carbonated drinks so not sure why. I have tried gas x already. It hapoens mostly later in the day or early morning. It's starting to worry me. I don't want this to be permanent. Anyone else with this problem.

It is very common, it is your body getting used to eating again and it does not last long.

You are welcome, I have not gone through the surgery myself but my mom did a year ago,and that was one of her biggest complaints. It lasted till she had a hearty enough stomach to eat meat. Where my mother in law had the surgery 3 months ago and said it only lasted in the very beginning stages.

Hi, I am about 10 months out from surgery and still have a ton of gas...my doc says that since our tummy's are smaller, foods can't sit as long as before so they move through our systems faster and come out faster, hence more gas passing...for me it can get really bad at times (run all kinds of people off LOL)...She did say it will get better over time (just like everything else, each person's experience will be diff) That I can take gasx if it is super bothersome, but other than that I just have to deal....also, severity, etc. will depend on what you eat, just like pre surgery I have talked to people who have it still after years and others who hardly ever had any....cie la vie

Take care and good luck! Val

Hi, am 3 weeks post op and I have lots of gas, still trying to avoid foods that produce gas. But Dr. Says it will be better with time
